Our Vision for Internet Site Solutions:
Consolidate workloads. Create a compelling, integrated platform

The last several years have seen increased customer demand for a unified solution that can provide end-to-end capabilities for managing Web content publication in support of globalization and localization of sites. Now more than ever, organizations need a single platform to bring all these capabilities to intranet, extranet, and Internet sites.

SharePoint provides a unified platform that reduces cost and increases agility — delivering a differentiated online experience. The SDPS SharePoint Internet Business Planning offer helps customers tailor SharePoint deployment to:

• Establish an enterprise platform for Web Content Management
• Increase IT manageability and efficiency of Web solutions
• Simplify the content publication lifecycle
• Integrate and extend WCM solutions

The 2010 Upgrade offering provides customers a customized upgrade plan delivered by a certified SDPS partner for upgrading existing SharePoint 2007 deployments to SharePoint 2010. Depending on the level of SA benefits, customers are eligible for a 1, 3, 5, 10, or 15 day engagements.

Designed to help customers discover the value of upgrading and build a migration plan, this offer provides customers with:

• A comprehensive introduction to SharePoint 2010
• Thorough understanding of upgrade process as it relates to their deployment
• Awareness of the upgrade "costs" and benefits (immediate / future)
• A customized migration plan for deployed workloads

SharePoint Training

BPMB believes a successful SharePoint implementation includes training to leverage the investment made in SharePoint technologies.  Organizations should know how to maintain and manage their website content without relying on technical support staff, and feel confident that they have the skills and knowledge to do so. To this end, we have leveraged our 10 years of experience in delivering corporate solutions to create several end-user training courses for SharePoint. Each course is tailored to the specific customer's solution.  Courses are typically hands-on and in most cases attendees work on a site identical to the production site to gain as relevant experience as possible.

SharePoint Collaboration for Contributors:  this is a half-day course intended for people that will use SharePoint collaboration sites but are not be involved in the design aspect of the site.  Attendees will learn to:

• Navigate a SharePoint Site and understand the site structure
• Create, Upload, Edit and Delete documents
• Create, Upload, Edit and Delete List Items
• Use Check In, Check Out
• Understand and use versioning and versioning history
• Participate in and use workflows
• Create and use views and filters
• Use search to find items
• Set alerts for lists, libraries or items

SharePoint Collaboration for Site Designers:  this is a one day course intended for people that will build and manage collaboration sites.  In addition to the skills learned in the SharePoint 2007 Collaboration for Contributors course, attendees will learn to:

• Create a SharePoint Site

• Add and manage web parts
• Modify the navigation

SharePoint Web Content Management:  this is a one-day course intended for people who will create, edit, publish and manage content for an Internet/Intranet site in a SharePoint Publishing Site Environment.  Attendees will learn to:

Custom Administrator Training:  This training is intended to provide administrators with the knowledge and skills to manage any aspects of their site that are customized or specific to them and that would not have been taught in a public course.  Typically, this type of training is less formal than the content management training and is often hands-on, and may occur at different intervals throughout the project and development process.
